The EMIE Power Blade Portable USB Charger – Thinness at a CostBy Jim Tanous on February 24, 2015 at 9:15 AM

So many of our essential gadgets and devices are powered by USB — smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, e-readers — that many consumers spend a considerable portion of their day worrying about when and where they’ll next be able to plug into a power outlet and charge up, and if their combined fleet of digital wonders will have enough battery life to last that long. This has led to a huge industry of portable battery chargers: devices that you charge at home and then connect to your gadgets to give them the extra boost they need to get you through that long meeting, flight, or camping trip.

Every so often a product comes along that makes even those of us who live, eat and breathe technology stop, pause and say "wow". The EMIE Power Blade is such a product, Tech Toy Playground's choice for the most innovative product of 2015 so far.

Cool power bank but pricey and short warranty5 out of 5 StarsBy JWink - Amazon Top 500 Reviewer

This review is for the Emie Power Blade 8000mAh Power Bank (blue).

This power bank includes an USB to micro charging cable (approximately 20 inches in length), a felt case holder, a binder for the power blade, and the instructions.

This power bank (8.5 inches long by 5.5 inches wide and approximately 1/8 of an inch thick) is one of the coolest I have seen in a while and definitely the thinnest power bank I have come across. This power bank has two charging

Here's a compact 5,200 mAh Power Bank designed for pocket carry. Available in assorted metallic colors. This one is Gold.

There's a single 2.1A USB port. There is a typo in the current product description; there is only one USB port, not two. Also, the actual output appears to be 2.1A (suitable for iPad, as advertised), not 1.0A as the description specs say.
